Day 5...Witchy Challenge

Hello fellow Halloween lovers and stamping friends! I am so glad that you dropped by today. I am very excited to be sharing this project with you today. Today is Monday and we have coordinated our projects and offer you a themed challenge. Our cards today are based around Witches, and your challenge is to share your own witch based project by linking it to a comment at the end of this post! Easy peasy... Here is my project made for the challenge!

Somewhere along the way while making Halloween projects I decided that I wanted to make a journal of sorts, and what better way to do that than to make my art the journal. So that is what I am going to do. I took the opportunity to use this challenge as my first page. I am using a chipboard book that I got from Michael's. This little witch is from Victoria Case, isn't she awesome. I painted the page with blacks, purples, and grays to give it that night time backgroud. Then I used sanded grout again to make the puffy clouds, and dry brushed different shades of gray over them to give them some depth. I'm loving that grout... and have started raiding the garage to see what else I can find to work with. I have found a few things that I want to try, now I just have to talk to hubby into letting me have them. LOLIf you'd like to participate in the challenge, link to your finished witch project in a comment below this post. And don't forget, any comment will get you Blog Candy points! See you tomorrow!

I just wanted to share my first Halloween card this year with you as I made it a while ago, but thought you would like to see it since it is from a replica of a vintage postcard. http://papercraftspassiton.blogspot.com/2009/08/halloween-card-number-1.html
